WEEK 6

[bathymetric]

Another week, another three lost - and this time all to one murder case. And that's to say nothing of the execution, or whatever went on with that ouija board that still sits in the library... strange things are afoot in the facility, and some of them not even your captor seems fully equipped to explain.

The other of the two doors in the main living area finally opens after another lost Saturday, and what lies beyond is... strange, to say the least. Looks like there's no shortage of changes, even in the architecture. It certainly seems like you should have gotten something like this before the water park at the very least, don't you think?

Angel's still out and about at night, if you want to be found. And who knows what else you might find if you're out alone? Apparently, you might have a ghost on your hands.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ooc: Welcome to Week 6! If you want Angel or to try your hand at the ouija, please make sure to note in your toplevel, same as an investigation! AC is over here, regains are here, and, well...

You've all got a new app on your devices! Use it wisely. ]

[Her response is just as violent. A low growl.]

A blasphemous fool. That is who he is -- may the flames of hell tear the flesh from his bones while he lives.

[emberserker]

Oh, that's absolutely what he deserves. Knowing all this and then just -- just throwing it at us! Taking us from whatever point and timeline he wants!

[archboxer]

An eternity in the darkness of the Abyss -- letting him rot with his compatriots! If he were just toying with us then it would be one thing! Of all the frivolous uses of his power -- unforgivable. If only I could rip him asunder myself.

[emberserker]

The last group clearly failed. But they aren't this one, are they? Just useless puppets like Angel and that other girl.

[archboxer]

They likely were already working for him before the end. Once a puppet always one.

[emberserker]

What, like some kind of mole he planted or lured over to him? Likely, with that one.

[archboxer]

Yes. He may be a fool but one that seems to understand what is at stake. Planting a traitor is a common enough tactic.

[emberserker]

And someone's probably likely to fall for it. He'd clearly just toss them away when he's done with them, anyway.

[archboxer]

Clearly. He will likely kill both Angel and that woman when this particular experiment is done so he can start fresh.

[emberserker]

He did it with the last one, after all. Whether it's just because he crossed him somehow or just that the exercise was over and he got sick of him.

[archboxer]

It would be imprudent to keep such assistants around if you could not ensure their loyalty. True loyalty is built with trust and that is something that man could not inspire in anyone.

[emberserker]

No wonder he's apparently been messing with Angel's memories.

[archboxer]

Whoever is truly running this experiment should have chosen a better man to lead it.

[emberserker]

Unless that's what they're after. Isn't his goal "suffering?" I don't think it's purely sadism. That could well be part, but his machines do far more than one would expect of technology. Suffering is something he needs.

Well, he'll get it, but perhaps not in the way he'd prefer.

[archboxer]

If you need to rely on someone who likely wishes you dead to do your dirty work then you have not done your job properly. Even if 'suffering' is his goal he is going about it inefficiently. If you have cultivated loyal followers they would do anything for you.

[emberserker]

...Perhaps.

[She stares at the ruins of the dummy.]

It won't go his way much longer, anyway.

[archboxer]

[She glances at the picture in her hand then at the dummy.]

No. I shall see to that. He lost the moment he sided with that wretch.

[emberserker]

Someone you knew?

[archboxer]

The future ruler of one of the three nations in Fodlan. If she inherits the throne then Fodlan will become a living hell.

[emberserker]

If the Professor's fallen in with your enemy... Well, that would gel with what I saw, too.

[archboxer]

He is now an enemy of Fodlan. This will not end well for him.
